Trump Goes After FBI Chief Comey On Eve Of Senate Testimony…. ‘Comey The ‘Best Thing’ to Happen to Hillary Clinton’

Senate
Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley Tuesday called on Deputy Attorney
General Rod Rosenstein to start more closely supervising and reviewing
the agency’s handling of high-profile and politically charged
investigations, particularly one involving FBI Deputy Director Andrew
McCabe.
<snip>“The FBI and Department of
Justice cannot expect to maintain the public’s trust when there are so
many outstanding questions and apparent conflicts of interest in
consequential investigations. The American people need and deserve a
better accounting of how investigations are conducted and whether
politics have affected an inquiry. The FBI has yet to adequately explain
the steps taken to fix these issues since I first raised concerns over
six months ago. It’s time they were addressed,” Grassley said in his
letter.
He went on to say, “Public reports of his meeting with
a longtime Clinton and Democrat party fundraiser, Governor Terry
McAuliffe, and his wife’s subsequent campaign for public office being
substantially funded by McAuliffe’s organization raise serious questions
about his ability to appear impartial. The FBI provided unsatisfactory
answers to those questions.”
